for a visiting stranger to do -
find out what the country's customs are,
and refrain from offending against them.

The Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

that recognizes the equality of all,

I bow to the divine in you."

in front of the heart and bow the head slightly.

it is merely the absence of light.

Open yourself to the Light!
Hold back nothing,
Trust in the Light.
